Heh, cool. I like. Reminds me of Contra.

olie! on Dec 06 '07 This is also awesome, but don't know if I'd wear it. 4

Looks really nice! I like the concept, but would only comment that the image should be what the torch reveals (not sure if that was what you were going for) and by making the edging less defined, would give the sense of light fading into darkness. Overall though, very nice in both concept and execution!

BaronVonMonkey on Dec 06 '07 Thanks, that was the idea! See my blog for big versions!

tracerbullet on Dec 06 '07 funny, but you got the code wrong:
UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START |
|
BaronVonMonkey on Dec 06 '07 I always knew it as up down left right a b start .... I think it probably depended on the game...
|
|
tracerbullet on Dec 06 '07 maybe that's a modified version for a specific game. the official konami code that was used in the original contra and other games is the one i posted, though.
nice job nonetheless. |
 |
fatheed on Dec 06 '07 hahaha. Please try putting it on a black shirt. I would be better as a 1 ink design, rather than being a circle on a shirt IMO.
|
|
BaronVonMonkey on Dec 06 '07 hey fatheed, have just done that- 1 ink on black, and I've tried to soften the edges a bit too see
tracer, I think I'm probably just wrong actually! sadly it's a bit more difficult to change the actual image... |
|
BaronVonMonkey on Dec 06 '07 Sorry that should be see
|
 |
i really liked it until i realized it was a joke. Still cool just not my cup of tea
|
|
BaronVonMonkey on Dec 06 '07 argh
HERE |

I think the yellow on purple is incredible. $5 And the full code would be a huge pain in the butt to put on a shirt, or at least in the design you did, and I think it gets the point across just fine.
|
 |
ginetteginette on Dec 06 '07 you also need to learn better french:
"le secret d'immortalité" |
 |
It should be up, up, down down, left right left right!
|
 |
At least the art is kick ass.
I only like it black and white though. |
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Dec 07 '07 OMG, it looks SO MUCH better as a one-ink design. I think you should correct the code, take out the question mark and give the adventurer more of an Indiana Jones design, which wouldn't violate copyright because it would just be his silhouette/ Sorry, i've been watching all the Indy movies the last few nights, but with these fixes and the one-ink version, im giving this a 4$ right now.

bsweber on Dec 07 '07 really love this one!
|
 |
jimmytan on Dec 07 '07 like the effert! welldone.. on purple 5
|

BaronVonMonkey on Dec 07 '07 Thanks for all the comments- ginette, i was aware of my mistake as soon as I'd finished (I do actually speak reasonable french, believe it or not!) but as I pen and inked it, I couldn't change it... I put it down to demotic archaism. or something.
I might well do a re-submission at a later date, with good grammar, and the proper contra code |
 |
CONTRA! But I always play this with 2 players... SELECT START :-)
|
 |
L'überfantastica!!
(for when one language isn't good enough) $5 |
 |
I love this... even with the code as is! Might lose the question mark though... i dont feel that it's needed. I would definitely buy this on black, with the design in white. Nice job!
|
 |
The white or yellow on purple is awesome.
I agree about losing the question mark though. |
 |
This is good. I'd certainly consider buying a yellow on black version.
|
 |
Flippin' hilarious!
|
 |
Great concept, but I wouldn't buy it unless it was correct: UU DD LR LR BA start.
|
 |
neat concept!
|
 |
Brian is a nerd.
A very loveable nerd. It's totally adorable and I would buy it for my brother. |
 |
haha. wow.
|
|
up down left right a b start is the code for the level select in the original sonic game.
|
|
actually it's not, it's up down left right A start.
|
|
BaronVonMonkey on Dec 10 '07 aaah, ipear, that must be what I was thinking of- sonic on the master system, right?(though I even got that wrong! haha). The fact that I then drew it with nintendo buttons just goes to emphasise my retardation. It's a mash-up!
Anyway, I'm glad people could at least appreciate the concept through my lame-azoic execution. And thanks for all the comments! |
|
bon... I need to tell you something because there is a little mistake in your French. It should be "LE secret (no "e") de l'immortalité". "Secret" is a masculine word.
J'espère que ça peut t'aider un peu. |
|
BaronVonMonkey on Dec 11 '07 Oui, oui, je le sais. Mais je suis trop idiotique!
|
 |
Love the concept! 5$ from me! I dont even care if you didnt use correct French.
|
 |
:D
|
|
$5
|
 |
Yeah, this is great, but I would like to have the _real_ code, which is indeed: ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A (START)
|
|
needs an accent on the last e, yo
|
 |
FI DOLLA!
|
|
BaronVonMonkey on Dec 13 '07 Actually the no accent is the one bit of french I got right!- not needed when capitalised. Anyway thanks for all the comments- people seem to like the concept, so I might well recreate this at a later date with the contra code and some reasonable grammar

About my design
Doesn't come across too clearly at low res, but hopefully you can get the idea.
Why is it in French? C'est une mystere.
Why is it in bad french? Because people who spend their time figuring out the key to infinite lives don't need to learn the gender of nouns, obviously...
